New Pots Added to Spring 2009 Gallery

Just added some more pots to my Spring 2009 Gallery, fresh out of the kiln this week. More henna boxes, some serving bowls, mini-plates, and vases both new and augmented. I had a couple pieces I wasn’t so crazy about, and a delightful thing about this process is you can always add more ink and […]

MudFire had a nice mention in the May 13 CeramicArtsDaily.org, with information about our mid-range reduction firings we do. It also had some of my old work pictured from before the drawings. Check it out…

Faster Pussycat

Spent an afternoon testing a bunch of different pens, trailers, bamboo pens (thank you Paul Lewing!), brushes etc., trying to find a faster way to paint. I kinda like the test tile. But I really like that it seems like the drawing is about to get a whole lot faster. I’ll wait until my test […]

A Student’s Progression

OK, here’s a couple quick posts I’ve been meaning to make. At you in short order…

First Batch of Color Experiments

As mentioned on my “Process” page, I have just started developing and testing new colored inks for drawing with. I broke them out for an invitation to make some evil clown shot glasses for a circus themed show at Alcove Gallery just around the corner. The results were very exciting and I can’t wait to […]
